    I doubt that. Whole Foods will need the whole ground floor pretty much.

    I think theres a limited time frame during which you can edit your post. Not sure how long that is though.

    wooo! random rectangles!

    I agree. Using the renderings as-is rather than cropping/lassoing them would be better. (And less work/faster) What if you just did a consistent grid of images to the left? If your doing this is indesign that would be super fast and consistent looking. I like it though.

    That would make a lot of sense. Just carve out a few exceptions where needed.

    Honestly I would argue that the biggest thing Downtown is missing is legitimate museums, but since that's mostly a short trip down the light rail line I don't expect that to change much.

    i don't know what Marquee is, but a big suburban entertainment-plex like Main Event makes absolutely no sense downtown. For one thing, there just isn't room for something like that. For another, downtown will never be family-oriented enough to support that sort of thing. What downtown does have (theater, a movie theater, sports, bars, Lucky Strike, a weird "aquarium," parks, etc) is honestly way more than most neighborhoods can boast. Not to say I wouldn't be in favor of even more. Maybe another movie theater, some smaller music venues, stuff like that.

    Not really sure that's worth cutting three sidewalks in half.

    Why are there garage entrances/exits on THREE SIDES? Including facing the park?

    It's still somewhat of a barren location. As the hotel across the street, second skyhouse and block 334 come online it should become a lot more attractive to potential tenants.

    ? It's pretty much the same size as almost every other block downtown... (and our blocks are relatively small)

    Much of the area used to be Quality Hill which was a residential neighborhood. Think houses like the Cohn House and the Foley House which were going to be part of the Nau Center.

    Old rendering; no longer accurate.

    Except that this thing's scope and program were constantly expanding. This was not simple an issue of changing market forces.

    That would be a great problem to have, but we're a long, *long* way from that. There's still plenty of vacant land is Midtown, for one thing.

    I don't think that's the current layout of the Sakowitz interior. Right now there's a ramp going up from the Fannin side. That looks more like a retail floorplan to me...
  18. Texasota
    well this got a whole lot crappier

    Big and ugly facing the freeway is better than big and ugly facing the street.

    This is a weird thread.
  21. Texasota
    Ugh, Houston. One step forward, two steps back.
  22. Texasota
    Holy run-on sentence Batman!
  23. Texasota
    This. That's the best thing about the Dunlavy HEB.
  24. Texasota
    That doesn't look like it takes up the whole block. And I'm just gonna assume all that brown is perforated cor-ten. Nobody crush my dreams please.

    i sincerely hope they go with someone else. I don't think Ziegler Cooper does a very good job with street level integration.
